Lines: 15 I have been thinking about this for awhile,and admit that it's not an earth shattering matter at stake. However, I feel that the only way to safeguard the maps are to copyright them. I am not a legal expert so this basic idea may be flawed. If an entity like Usenix or The UUCP project (dunno if it exists as anything but a name) could copyright the maps surely this would stop slime ball outfits from misuse of the database.
